Carnivora and the Hortus botanicus Leiden are proud to host the 2010 International Carnivorous Plant Society Conference in Leiden, The Netherlands. The conference will take place in and around (walking distance) the botanical garden, located in the heart of historical Leiden. The conference will be held from the 6th up to and including the 8th of August 2010, while the 9th and 10th of August are reserved for (optional) excursions. The conference will be accompanied by plant sales (during the conference with International sellers) and an educational exhibition from the 6th till the 16th of August. Information can be found on the Carnivora website: www.carnivora.nl in a special section which will be available from July 2009 by clicking the button on the homepage. The website will start with general information on the botanical gardens, information on places to stay and what else to see and other useful travel info. Registration will also be done on the website, this will start when the excursions program and the basic list of lectures are ready. The expectation is that this will be from around October 2009. For general questions the following e-mail address is available: icps@carnivora.nl We hope you will be able to join us in The Netherlands.

Just a quick update. Preparations are going well but unfortunately out webmaster had some delays (external causes). That means that you can expect the webpage with info by the end of August. Sorry for the delay, but I am glad we started early Looking forward to seeing you all

It would be fun if you could make it Brian, It looks like we are going to get a very interesting program. We really hope a lot of people can make it, plenty of space in the lecturing halls and the botanical gardens, but the financial crisis seems to be a big obstacle for many people.
Maybe try snorkeling? If you use a minor pitcher as breathing tube you won't get water in from the waves.. ;D

Hey Marcel,
Well, people say lately that I have a big mouth. So, I may need to use an adult Darlingtonia pitcher instead! ;D ;D
Happy Growing,
Brian.

Yes, it looks like we are going to have a nice line up of speakers but if everyone actually participates that is considering to come then even the participants list would read like a who is who ;D

It appears that overseas payments need some extra information on top of the IBAN etc that is enough in Europe.
It took some shaking of a bank director but after threatening to feed him to the plants ;D we've got this additional address for overseas payments:
Bank: ING Haarlemmerweg 506 1014 BL Amsterdam The Netherlands
Treasurer: Enterij 22 2771 MX Boskoop The Netherlands
